Out of the Inferno

Lindsay Lohan’s on the market for another comeback vehicle.

The troubled actress won’t be starring in the Linda Lovelace biopic Inferno, after all.

“We have stuck by Lindsay very patiently for a long time with a lot of love and support,” said the movie’s director, Matthew Wilder. “Ultimately, the impossibility of insuring her – and some other issues – have made it impossible for us to go forward.”

I say this is for the best.

L2 needs a project with which to reintroduce herself to audiences that isn’t quite as loaded (no pun intended) as one about a late porn star most famous for the 1972 hardcore movie Deep Throat, you know what I mean.

I’m not saying she should do a rom-com, but som’in’ fun-edgy could do much more for her than som’in’ edgy-edgy like Inferno at this point.

Wilder is expected to announce a replacement next week.

Update:Watchmen star Malin Akerman has been tapped to take over the Linda Lovelace role.
